PREFACE. 

This book has been prepared as a ready refer- 
ence to be used by the student during the course 
in materia medica, pharmacy, and for work in the 
dispensary. The metric system is used thro-out the 
book, but there is included a table of equivalents which 
would make it easy to be converted into the other 
system. It is hoped that the information contained ^n 
this book will be of assistance not only to the student 
but to the practitioner as well.

THERAPEUTICAL AGENTS DEFINED. 



Haematics restore the quality of the blood to nor- 
mal condition. They exert a direct influence on the 
composition of the blood : e. g., preparations of iron, 
of manganese, cod-liver oil, etc. 

Alkalies act, in the concentrated form, as caustics 
(escharotics), but when diluted, as antacids. Dilute 
alkalies, if given before meals, however, will stimu- 
late the production of the acid gastric juice. The 
carbonates of potassa and soda and the bicarbonates, 
also preparations of the alkaline earths, such as 
lime-water, and mixtures of magnesium carbonate, 
are good examples. Some of the salts of the alka- 
lies have a remote antacid effect, becoming decom- 
posed in the blood and excreted in the urine, which 
it renders less acid. 

Acids. — These have an action opposite to that of 
the alkalies. When much diluted, they are admin- 
istered for the purpose of checking hyper-acidity o'f 
the stomach, by stimulatipg the production . of the 
alkaline pancreatic juice and checking the acid gastric 
juice. 



30 Posology and Prescriptions. 

Digestants. — Agents which effect solution (diges- 
tion) of food in the alimentary canal. Examples : 
Pepsin, pancreatin, trypsin, papain, etc. 

Antipyretics. — Agents which reduce the tempera- 
ture of the body, either by reducing the circulation 
or diminishing tissue change, or favoring the loss of 
heat through radiation, conduction, etc. Examples : 
Quinine, aconite, antipyrine, antimony, etc. 

Alteratives. — A term used to designate a class of 
agents which alter the course of morbid conditions, 
modifying the nutritive processes while promoting 
waste, by stimulating secretion, absorption and the 
elimination of morbid deposits ; especially used in 
the chronic diseases of the skin. Employed in the 
treatment of phthisis, syphilis, gout, neuralgia, asthma, 
etc. Examples : Arsenous acid, mercury, iodine and 
the iodides, sarsaparilla, guaiac, colchicon, stillingia, 
etc. 

Cerebral Excitants. — Agents which increase the 

functional activity of the cerebrum, without causing 
any subsequent depression of brain function. Ex- 
amples: Camphor, valerian, caffeine, cannabis (in 
small doses), etc. 

Cerebral Depressants have an opposite effect to 
the preceding, lessening brain activity. Some of the 
drugs of this class are employed as hypnotics or as 
analgesics. 

Narcotics. — Agents which lessen the sensibility 
to pain and cause sleep. A narcotic will abolish pain, 
while an anodyne will frequently merely overcome 
wakefulness. Examples : Opium, cannabis indica, 
belladonna, humulus, etc. 

Hypnotics. — Agents which induce sleep and will 
often abolish pain and cause neither deliriant nor nar- 
cotic effects. Examples: Chloral, sulphonal, trional, 
the bromides, etc. 

Analgesics — Agents which relieve pain by their 
effect upon the sensory centers ; the term is synony- 



Therapeutical Agents Defined. 31 

mous with anodynes. The general anodynes, when 
taken internally, affect the whole organism ; local 
anodynes affect the part to which they are applied, 
some by their depression of the terminal nerve or- 
gans in the skin, others by reducing the local cir- 
culation. Examples : Opium, belladonna, hyoscyamus, 
aconite, antipyrine, acetanilid, etc. 

Anaesthetics. — Agents which suspend conscious- 
ness and temporarily destroy sensation. The local 
anaesthetics affect only the part to which they are 
applied, and diminish or temporarily destroy the 
sensibility of the part. Examples : Ether, chloro- 
form, nitrous oxide, etc. Local anaesthetics : Cocaine, 
carbolic acid, ether spray, etc. 

Motor Excitants. — Agents which increase the 
functional activity of the spinal cord and the motor 
apparatus, invigorating the action of the heart and 
lungs. Examples : Nux vomica, strychnine, etc. 

Motor Depressants have an opposite effect to the 
motor excitants, lowering the functional activity of 
the spinal cord and motor apparatus. Examples : Al- 
cohol, opium, aconite, conium, belladonna, etc. 

Antispasmodics. — Agents acting on the nervous 
system in various ways. They prevent or allay ir- 
regular action or spasm of voluntary and involuntary 
muscles. This is accomplished frequently by a seda- 
tive influence upon the nerve centers, while a few 
others exert their influence by stimulating the nerve 
centers. Examples : Alcohol, ether, valerian, cam- 
phor, asafcetida, musk, the bromides, hydrocyanic acid, 
etc. 

Tonics. — Agents which increase the vigor and 
tone of the system by improving the appetite, favor- 
ing digestion and assimilation, and adding strength to 
the circulatory system. Examples : Gentian, columbo, 
quinine, etc. 

Antiperiodics. — Agents which prevent or check 
the return of diseases which recur periodically, pos- 



32 Posology and Prescriptions. 

sibly by a toxic action upon the microbes in the blood, 
which are supposed to cause the disease; but little is 
known of their mode of action. The typical anti- 
periodic, quinine, has, however, a decided effect upon 
the heart and brain, as well as other parts of the 
nervous system. 

Cardiac Stimulants, as the name implies, are 
agents which increase the heart's action, the force and 
frequency of the pulse. Examples : Ether, alcohol, 
atropine, sparteine, nitroglycerine, etc. 

Cardiac Sedatives allay and control palpitation 
and overaction of the heart. Examples : Aconite, vera- 
trum viride, digitalis, antimony, etc. 

Vascular Stimulants. — Agents which dilate the 
peripheral vessels and increase the peripheral circu- 
lation. Members of this class also strengthen the 
heart's action, and are advantageously employed in 
debilitated conditions of the central organs of the cir- 
culation. Examples : Alcohol, preparations of am- 
monia, caffeine, digitalis, strophanthus, etc. 

Vascular Sedatives. — Agents which lessen the 
capillary circulation and raise the blood pressure by 
stimulating the vasomotor center or its mechanism and 
the walls of the vessels. Examples : Ergot, digitalis, 
opium, salts of iron, etc. 

Diuretcs. — Agents which increase the secretion 
of urine, acting either directly upon the secreting cells 
of the kidneys or by raising the general or local 
arterial tension. Employed in acute congestion and 
inflammation of the kidneys and in dropsies. Exam- 
ples : Squill, scoparius, triticum, and organic salts of 
the alkalies. 

Renal Depressants. — Agents which lower the ac- 
tivity of the renal cells, thereby lessening the urinary 
secretion. Examples : Morphine, quinine, ergot, etc. 

Vesical Tonics and Sedatives. — Agents acting 
upon the bladder, in the one case increasing the tone 



Therapeutical Agents Defined. 33 

of the muscular fibers and in the other lessening the 
irritability of that organ. Examples : Tonics — strych- 
nine, cantharis, belladonna, etc. ; sedatives — opium, 
buchu, uva ursi, pareira, etc. 

Renal Sedatives. — Agents which exert a sedative 
action upon the whole urinary tract. Examples : Co- 
paiba, cubebs, etc. 

Diaphoretics and Sudorifics. — Agents which in- 
crease the action of the skin and promote perspiration. 
Examples: Dover's powder, jaborandi, camphor, sweet 
spirits of niter, etc. 

Anhidrotics. — Agents wihch check perspiration. 
Examples : Atropine, zinc salts, acids, etc. 

Antilithics. — Agents used to prevent the forma- 
tion of insoluble concretions or to dissolve concretions 
when formed in the ducts. Examples : Salts of lithia, 
potassium, benzoic acid, etc. 

Expectorants. — Agents which are employed to 
facilitate the expulsion of bronchial secretions and to 
modify the character of these when abnormal. Ex- 
amples ; Ammonium chloride, the aromatic balsams, 
squill, licorice, senega, etc. 

Pulmonary Sedatives. — Agents which allay the ir- 
ritability of the respiratory center and the nerves of 
the lungs and bronchial tubes. Examples : Belladonna, 
opium, hyoscyamus, hydrocyanic acid, etc. 

Errhines and Sternutatories are agents which af- 
fect locally the nasal mucous membrane, producing 
sneezing and an increase of nasal secretion. They 
also indirectly stimulate the vasomotor centers and at 
the same time excite the respiratory centers : Ex- 
amples : Ipecacuanna, sanguinaria, veratrine, etc. 

Sialagogues. — Agents which promote the secre- 
tion and flow of saliva from the salivary glands. Ex- 
amples : Pyrethrum, mezereum, the mercurials and 
antimonials, etc. 

Emetics. — Agents which cause vomiting, acting 
directly upon the nerves of the stomach or acting 



34 Posology and Prescriptions. 

through the blood upon the vomiting center, or by 
reflex irritation of the vomiting center. Examples : 
Mustard, zinc sulphate, apomorphine, ipecacuanha, 
tartar emetic, etc. 

Purgatives produce evacuation of the contents of 

the intestinal canal by increasing secretion along the 
tract, by exciting peristaltic action, etc. Examples: 
Podophyllum, colocynth, jalap, croton oil, magnesium 
sulphate, etc. 

Astringents. — Agents which produce contraction 

of muscular fiber, which coagulate albumen and lessen 
secretion from mucous membranes. Examples : Tannic 
and gallic acids, alum, lead acetate, persulphate of 
iron, etc. 

Stomachics. — Agents which increase the appetite 
and promote gastric digestion. They also check fer- 
mentation and dispel accumulation of flatus. Examples : 
mint, cardamon, ginger, capsicum, etc. 

Hepatic Stimulants. (Cholagogues). — Agents 
which excite the liver and increase the functional 
activity of that organ so that the amount of bile is 
augumented, etc. Hepatic stimulants increase the ac- 
ivity of the liver-cells, while cholagugues removes the 
bile from the duodenum. Examples : Podophyllum, 
aloes, jalap, colocynth, mercurous chloride, etc. 

Hepatic Depressants. — Agents which reduce the 
functional activity of the liver, having the opposite 
effect of the foregoing, that of diminishing the forma- 
tion of the bile, urea and glycogen. Examples : Opium, 
quinine, arsenic, antimony, etc. 

Ecbolics or Oxytoxics. — Agents which stiumlate 
the pregnant uterus and produce contraction of that 
organ, either by direct irritation of the muscles of the 
womb, or indirectly by affecting the uterine center of 
the cord. Examples : Ergot, cotton-root bark, savin, 
cimicifuga, etc. 



Therapeutical Agents Defined. 35 

Emmenagogues. — Agents which stimulate the ute- 
rine muscular fibres and restore the normal menstrual 
function. Examples : Ergot, apiol, iron, etc. 

Aphrodisiacs. — Agents used to excite the function 
of the genital organs when they are morbidly depressed. 
Examples : Phosphorus, zinc phosphide, salts of iron, 
gold or arsenic, etc. 

Anaphrodisiacs. — Agents which diminish the sex- 
ual desire. Examples : The bromides, camphor, etc. 

Mydriatics. — Agents which cause dilation of the 
pupil ; used to temporarily destroy accommodation by 
causing paralysis of the ciliary muscle. Examples: 
Atropine and homatropine. 

Myotics. — Agents acting in a manner contrary to 
that of the above, producing contraction of the pupil by 
stimulating the circular muscular fibers of the iris and 
at the same time contracting the ciliary muscle. Ex- 
amples : Pilocarpine, eserine, etc. 

Irritants. — Agents which are applied locally to 
the skin to produce certain effects, as rubefacients 
(simply reddening the skin) ; epispastics (blistering) ; 
pustulants (causing blebs in which is found pus) ; 
escharotics, or caustics (actually destroying the tissue). 
Examples: Mustard (rubefacient); cantharides (epis- 
pastic) ; croton oil (pustulant) ; caustic potassa, car- 
bolic acid, and strong mineral acids (esharotics). 

Local Sedatives. — Agents which diminish irrita- 
tion in the part to which applied, relieving local in- 
flammation. Example : Acetate of lead, opium, bella- 
donna, etc. 

Demulcents. — Bland remedies used to allay and 
mechanically protect inflamed surfaces. They are used 
also internally for this purpose, as in acute inflamma- 
tion of the alimentary canal. Examples : Mucilages of 
, acacia, flaxseed, Iceland and Irish moss, elm, etc. 



36 Posology and Prescriptions. 

Emollients resemble the above; are used exter- 
nally to soften and soothe the irritated and abraded 
skin. Examples: Lard, olive oil, cacao butter, etc. 

Antiseptics. — Agents which arrest putrefaction, 

either by preventing the growth of micro-organisms 
causing putrefactive decomposition or by destroying 
these micro-organisms. Examples : Carbolic acid, cor- 
rosive sublimate, etc. 

Disinfectants. — Some authorities limit the use of 
this term to those agents which destroy the micro- 
organisms. The terms antiseptic and disinfectant are 
frequently interchangeable. Examples : Corrosive sub- 
limate, carbolic acid, iodoform, zinc chloride, eucalyptol, 
etc. 

Antizymotics. — A term applied to agents which 
arrest fermentation. Examples : See above. 

Anthelmintics. — Agents which destroy such para- 
sitic worms as infest the alimentary canal. Taenia- 
fuges destroy tape-worms ; vermifuges expel these 
intestinal parasites. Examples : Santonin, spigelia, 
chenopodium, etc. Tseniafuges : Filix mas, pelletierin, 
cusso, etc. 

Antiparasitics.-^Agents which destroy those par- 
asites which infest the animal body externally. Ex- 
amples : Mercurial preparations, chrysarobin, carbolic 
acid, cocculus, etc. 

Antiperiodics. — See above.

EFFECTS OF THE EXPOSURE OF CHEM- 
ICALS TO LIGHT AND AIR. 



Acidum Hydrocyanicum undergoes decomposition, 
depositing a black precipitate which may be prevented 
by the addition of a little hydrochloric acid. 

Acidum Nitrohydrochloricum decomposes, losing 
chlornitrous acid ; it should be kept only in small 
quantity, in partly filled bottles in a dark place. 

Acidum Sulphuricum rapidly absorbs moisture. 

Acidum Sulphurosum oxidizes to sulphuric acid. 

Ammonii Carbonas loses NH 3 and C0 2 and becomes 
bicarbonate. 

Apomorphinse Hydrochloras turns green, indicating 
partial decomposition. 

Aqua Chlori decomposes with formation of hydro- 
chloric acid and oxygen. 

Calx Chlorata loses chlorine, absorbing C0 2 . 

Calx Sulphurata loses sulphuretted hydrogen, chang- 
ing to sulphate. 

Chloral as well as Camphor are slowly volatilized. 

Iodides or bromides of arsenic, ammonium, iron, 
mercury (ous and ic), sodium, strontium, sulphur, and 
zinc, lose iodine or bromine, respectively. 

Magnesia (calcined) absorbs C0 2 and becomes 
carbonate. 

Magnesii Sulphis oxidizes to sulphate. 

Morphinse Acetas loses acetic acid. 

Napthalinum slowly volatilizes. 

Oleatum Hydrargyri, U. S. P., deposits metallic 
mercury. 

Physostigmine salts turn red. 

Potassa Sulphurata forms carbonate, hyposulphite, 
and sulphate. 



Freezing Mixtures. 45 

Resorcin becomes colored. 

Silver salts are all decomposed by light in presence 
of organic matter. 

Sodii Bisulphis loses sulphurous acid. 
Santoninum turns yellow on exposure to light. 
Zinci Acetas loses water and acetic acid. 
Zinci Phosphidum oxidizes, losing phosphorus.

INCOMPATIBILITY. 

Incompatibility is that condition produced by 
bringing together substances which result in (1) 
chemical decomposition, (2) pharmaceutical dis- 
sociation, or (3) therapeutic opposition. 



CHEMICAL DECOMPOSITION. 

That form of incompatibility where an alteration 
in the chemical composition of drugs takes place when 
they are mixed. 

The most common forms of chemical incompati- 
bility are : — 

1. Precipitation of an insoluble salt, by adding one 
solution of a salt to another. 

2. By decomposition of a salt in solution, contain- 
ing a base united with a weak or volatile acid, by the 
addition of a stronger acid. 

3. By precipitation of alkaloidal salts by adding, 
to their solutions, alkalies or salts, thus producing .in- 
soluble compounds. This is a dangerous form of in- 
compatibility, as the alkaloidal salts of strychnine, 
morphine, etc., are poisonous and largely employed in 
medicine. 

4. By unsightly discoloration and precipitation, 
produced by mixing ferric salts or their solutions with 
some form of tannin. 

5. By decomposition of a solid substance in so- 
lution, without precipitation, by the formation of 
products which may or may not be soluble in the liquid. 



PHARMACEUTICAL INCOMPATIBILITY. 

This is that condition arising from the admixture 
of pharmaceutical preparations which causes physical 
dissociation of one or more of the constituents, but not 
a chemical change. This form is divided into two 
varieties, viz. : — 



Incompatibility. 93 



1. That resulting in the separation of active and 
important ingredients. 

2. That resulting in the precipitation of inert 
constituents. 



THERAPEUTIC INCOMPATIBILITY. 

This is that form which consists of the union of 
drugs that are physiologically antagonistic ; for instance, 
the administration of aconite and digitalis together or 
any combination of drugs that oppose each other in 
therapeutic actions. 

RULES. 

The following recognized rules will act as a guide 
to, the practitioner : — 

Soluble salts which can by mutual decomposi- 
tion form an insoluble compound will undergo such 
decomposition when they meet in solution, and will 
precipitate, unless in some very rare instances in which 
a double salt is formed. 

Soluble salts which are not capable of forming 
an insoluble salt never precipitate and rarely undergo 
decomposition when they meet in solution. 

Mineral acids decompose salts of the weaker 
(carbonic, acetic, etc.) acids, and form ethers with 
alcohol and alcoholic preparations. 

Alkalies precipitate the alkaloids and the solu- 
ble nonalkaline metallic salts. 

Glucosides, such as santonin and glycyrrhizin, 
should not be prescribed with free acids or emulsin. 

Tannic acid and, all substances containing it are 

incompatible with alkaloids and drugs containing them, 
with albumin and gelatin, and with most soluble metallic 
salts used in medicine. 

Iodine and iodides are incompatible with the 
alkaloids and the substances containing them, as 
well as with most soluble metallic salts. The 
iodide of potassium should always be prescribed 



94 Posology and Prescriptions. 

alone, or only in combination with corrosive sublimate 
(with which it forms a double salt), or with iodine 
itself. 

Tinctures and other alcoholic preparations con- 
taining resin precipitate the latter when water is added. 

Nitrate of silver should always be prescribed 
alone, or in combination with opium or extract of 
hyoscyamus only. Most vegetable extracts decompose 
it, and with creosote it is said to make an explosive 
compound. 

Corrosive sublimate is incompatible with al- 
most everything, and should be given in simple syrup ; 
even the compound syrup of sarsaparilla is said to 
decompose it. 

Syrup of squill, containing acetic acid, is incom- 
patible with carbonate of ammonium, but not with the 
chloride. 

Acetate and subacetate of lead are incompatible 
with almost everything, but are nevertheless frequently 
used in lotion with opium, the insoluble compound 
formed being therapeutically active. . 

Vegetable infusions are generally incompatible 
with metallic salts. 



Prescriptions. 95 



PRESCRIPTIONS. 



Several of the following prescriptions will be found 
to contain incompatible substances, the object being in a 
number of instances to form new chemical compounds. 
Others have been highly recommended by veterinarians 
who have used them with apparently good results. 
Hence the reason for including them with the others.
